Growing Quality Transplants for the Vegetable Industry.

Location: 9410 Wendt Farm Rd., Jay, FL 32565

Wendt Farm and Nursery, a Santa Rosa County, Florida landmark, has been growing wholesome and delicious vegetables for 35 years! On this farm, three generations of the Wendt family work side-by-side to produce the best locally grown sweet corn, peas, butterbeans, tomatoes, cantaloupe, and watermelon, and other fresh produce to area customers both wholesale and retail. Growing 50-acres of vegetables in the Florida panhandle is not for the faint of heart and the Wendt Family has demonstrated their commitment to providing nutritious vegetables regardless of what weather conditions are thrown at them!

Beyond the tasty vegetables grown on the farm, the Wendt Family also operates a 2 acre greenhouse nursery where they have provided seasonal color for over three decades to our area. Wendt Farm and Nursery is known for growing beautiful Christmas Poinsettias, Easter Lilies, Fall Garden Mums, and Spring Flowering Plants, but few likely know that they also grow wholesale commercial vegetable transplants that are shipped to commercial vegetable farms all over the region. The latest endeavor at the nursery is hydroponic lettuce production where they produce the freshest leafy greens you can find and is available at local retail produce markets.

Three generations of hard workers and over three decades of experience resulted in Wendt Farm and Nursery being selected as the 2021 Farm Family of the Year by Santa Rosa County!
